Chapter Two- Sora, the ice sorceress
*********
"Give me the Shikon shards, or next time my attack wont miss."
Came the ice cold voice of the figure standing in the tree, the wind wiping her cloak around her body. Kagome gripped Inuyasha's kimono sleeve and looked up at the attacker in fear. They had just escaped one demon and now there was another one. A low deep growl escaped from Inuyasha's throat as his hand went for the hilt of Tetsusaiga. Before he could grip it, his hand was hit with something sharp. He looked down in pain to see a ice shard sticking from a part of his hand. It had been so quick an attack he could not even see it, much less dodge it. And in a moment, his hand went limp. The icy cold laugh met his inu ears.
"Now, now. Its not nice to draw a sword on a lady."
She said amusingly. Inuyasha growled as he tried to move his hand, but to no avail. Kagome looked at Inuyasha in worry. What was going on? Why was he hesitating to unsheathe the Tetsusaiga. She looked at his limp and she gasped, seeing the now blood soaked ice shard sticking from the top of his hand, lodged into his vein.
"Inuyasha...."
Kagome said in a quiet voice. Inuyasha looked at her, trying to mask the pain in his face.
"Inuyasha..."
She said again quietly and moved her hand to take the shard from his. More shards came flying at them, aimed at Kagome. Inuyasha, seeing it this time, pushed Kagome out of them way, placing his body in front of hers. Shards shot right through him, making a clean pass through his chest, and landing on the ground below him. Blood seeped from twenty small wounds, leaking out onto his kimono. He fell to one knee, huffing for breath.
"Inuyasha!"
Kagome yelled and rose to her feet, rushing towards him. She bent down and placed a hand on his shoulder, fear in her eyes.
"Kagome....get back."
Inuyasha said weakly as he tried to rise to his feet. The ice shards on the ground, the ones that shot through him, started to glow a sickening red before rising to the air and shooting at Inuyasha again. Again Inuyasha pushed Kagome out of the way and took the attack.
"Ahhh!"
Inuyasha yelled as he could no longer stand and so fell to his knees. What the hell was happening. Why was he getting beaten so easily. No, he couldnt give up. He had to protect Kagome. Using his other hand he unsheathed the Tetsusaiga, it transforming immediately. He rose to his feet, blood of crimson soaking his kimono jacket and leaking down his pants into a small puddle below him.
"Inuyasha!"
Kagome said in horror as he charged towards the attacker. He jumped up to the tree and took a swing at her, but she quickly dodged and landed on the ground below him, her hood falling from her head. Silky white hair fell around her tanned face in ruffles. Penetrating purple eyes stared at him through thick eye lashes. Her hair was mostly put up in pins and two blue strips appeared on each cheek. She stood at full length, about 5'3 and she pulled the cloak from her body, tossing it aside. She words a short blue shirt with a white sash tied around her abs, criss cross like, tying into a knot at the back. The shirt had two rips at the shoulders that connected to long sleeves, with the end flaring out. She wore the same color skirt, long and went all the way down to her feet, with two slits on both sides, exposing her thighs. A katana was held at her waist and in her blue boots, were two daggers. Her face held anger, she had become cross.
"Did i not say it was not polite to aim a sword at a lady!"
She yelled up to him as she lifted her hand to her lips, her palm flat, she blew on it and as she did, tiny deadly ice shards shot from her palm and straight at Inuyasha. He managed to dodge this time and land on the ground in front of her.
He then charged at her with the Tetsusaiga, but again she dodged easily and shot more shards at him. He did a back flip to avoid them and landed a few feet from her, facing her. Kagome wanted to rush to him but she knew she would only get in his way.
"Kagome, get to safety!"
Inuyasha called, not looking at her. She nodded gravely and picked up her bow and quiver of arrows, retreating to behind a large rock where she could still see what was going on. The attacker laughed.
"Tell me, Inuyasha. Why do you protect a mortal wench?"
She asked and Inuyasha growled. She had called Kagome a wench, only he was allowed to do that.
"She is not a wench."
He stated first before something clicked in his head.
"How do you know my name?"
He asked, a little puzzled by this. She laughed again her cold laugh and her dark purple eyes fixed on him.
"Any respectable youkai knows of you. The hanyou Inuyasha, the one searching for the shards of the Shikon jewel, with the aid of a young maiden he has sworn to protect. You wont have a moments peace till you loose your shards and your life."
She laughed again and crooked smile appearing on her face.
"You, the little halfling brother of the great Sesshoumaru, falling for the miko fifty years ago, only to get betrayed and now falling for yet another human wench."
He voice became suddenly as cold as her ice attack, filled with anger.
"You dare to betray your youkai blood for your mortal heritage. You are a disgrace to both races and you do not deserve to live."
She charged at him again, her nails becoming long and made of ice, knife sharp. She charged at Inuyasha, who blocked her attack with the Tetsusaiga and sent her flying back. She scraped her nails along the ground to stop from flying into a tree.
"Who are you!"
He demanded, getting into a fighting stance, his left leg a little behind him. She laughed again, her cold high laugh.
